Suppose you had an important football player in a class, and because of a grade you gave he missed a big game, do you believe there would be negative repercussions? If so, there's at least a little bit of pressure towards passing those

I think most people understand grades aren't purely a measure of how well you know a subject, but also related to how much your parents donated to the university, or how important you are to the football team. What should devastate peo

Yes, you clever person, you caught me! I'm just a hypocrite who believes moral absolutism is objectively evil, in complete opposition to what I've been saying so far! Or maybe I believe it's dangerous because of what I'v

Are we talking about moral relativism, or whether actual truth is subjective? Morals are personal/cultural values, I can't imagine equating them to "actual truth". I'm really not following how this relates to my ori

by calibas 6y ago
If morals aren't relative, which ones are correct? To me, moral relativism means that I understand other people have different morals than mine and I have to respect that. It's not some excuse to toss morals out the window.

Which makes all this mainly about personal values and not "objective truths".

For the record, I don't think using <center> is a good idea. I'm not arguing for it's use, I just don't believe it's as horrible as some people make it out to be. Despite the valid arguments against it, it wor

Another perspective: It's bad practice to constantly change everything every few years, then expect everyone to upgrade to the latest and greatest technology or get left behind. It's good practice to use code that runs just fine o

I like how much <center> is frowned upon by the experts, but when you actually inspect how sites are centering things, it's surprisingly common. Don't worry, I'm not gonna scold HN, I actually don't think it's

This affects the whole online ad market, not just Google's competitors. That's a whole lot of "the public" that's directly affected. How do you quantify it? I don't know, how about we look at how much money Goo

It's because of Christmas, that's pretty much the whole reasoning for why they released when they did.

I assume it's a script that searches the CSS files for any JS and runs eval()? Yeah, the problem isn't CSS, them problem is whoever thought that was a good idea. Now XSS is a "feature" of CSS.

Also, the rate limiting is probably meant to be based upon the client's IP, not the proxy IP. Usually, the proxy adds the client IPs to the request headers and you can use those in Nginx rules.

To add, I believe that's caused by rate limiting in Nginx.

I think one of the main reasons it's still used is that the enormously popular cPanel/WHM requires CentOS or RHEL. It's a line of software that does system admin for you, which takes care of a lot of the PITA parts of CentOS.

The great "script vs programming language debate". The difference is clear to you because you have a clear definition in your mind. The problem is that the definition changes depending on who you talk to, which invites endless deb

This is all semantics, but the idea was that Java is a "real" language for serious use and JavaScript is a "script" that's much easier to use and doesn't involve all the complications of a "real" prog

I think if you combined the two "different" answers to why it's named JavaScript, you get the truth. Yes, it was promoted as a companion scripting language for Java, but that was in part because Java was so hot at the moment,
